TIME: 1:23AM
CASE NUMBER: 23-519937
INCIDENT TYPE: Aggravated Robbery
OFFICER SUBMITTING RELEASE: Sgt. Carla Burr-PIO
DETAILS:
At 1:23 AM on Sunday, December 10, 2023, Officers from the Amarillo Police Department were dispatched to the 3100 block of Redwood in response to a home invasion robbery. Upon arrival, officers discovered that several family members had been restrained and assaulted by three suspects who subsequently stole personal items from the residence. An additional family member arrived, prompting the assailants to flee the scene. Another family member pursued the suspects north of town. The suspects shot at the victim following them.
Officers contacted Moore County Sheriff deputies, who worked with Hartley County deputies to apprehend the suspects as they entered their respective jurisdictions. Quick thinking deputies strategically deployed stop sticks ahead of the fleeing suspects, causing their vehicle's tires to deflate. This tire-deflation maneuver eventually led to the apprehension and subsequent custody of the three suspects by Moore County deputies.
The subjects in the vehicle were arrested by Moore County deputies on on-view charges. Amarillo Police Department's Violent Crimes detectives have been assigned to investigate the home invasion robbery. The investigation is ongoing, and further updates will be provided as arrests are made in connection with this incident.
For further details on the pursuit and on view arrests, contact the Moore County Sheriff’s office.
